Abstract
Convenient and low-cost dressings can reduce the difficulty of wound treatment. Alginate gel dressings have the advantages of low cost and safe usage, and they have obvious potential for development in biomedical materials. Alginate gel dressings are currently a research area of great interest owing to their versatility, intelligent, and their application attempts in treating complex wounds. We present a detailed summary of the preparation of alginate hydrogels and a study of their performance improvement. Herein, we summarize the various applications of alginate hydrogels. The research focuses in this area mainly include designing multifunctional dressings for the treatment of various wounds and fabricating specialized dressings to assist physicians in the treatment of complex wounds (TOC). This review gives an outlook for future directions in the field of alginate hydrogel dressings. We hope to attract more research interest and studies in alginate hydrogel dressings, thus contributing to the creation of low-cost and highly effective wound treatment materials.
